Brooms and a Brolly

— Photos
Photo taken on a bright summer day outside the Brompton Oratory in London, showing a street sweeper in a high-visibility orange vest and sunglasses standing beside a cart loaded with bin liners and a row of upright brooms, holding a large black umbrella for shade, while a woman in a blue floral dress, white trainers, a white shoulder bag and holding a yellow bag walks past on the pavement and glances back over her shoulder, with the classical Portland stone façade and iron railings of the church behind them and bright pink survey-style lines painted across the road.

A London street sweeper, fully kitted out in orange hi-vis, has parked his cart, bristling with upright brooms like some sort of municipal hedgehog, outside the Brompton Oratory and is holding a big black umbrella over himself for shade. It was roasting that day.

Umbrellas aren’t just for the rain. They are very useful portable shade!
